The 44th Annual Summer Holiday Exhibition for Children : How does Salt Work in Your Body?

July 21, – August 27, 2023

Did you know that salt works in your body in many ways?
The 44th summer holiday exhibition for children focuses on the human body and salt. Children learn the role of salt for maintaining life and see how salt is used in various parts of the body-the stomach, intestines, kidney, nerves, and blood. They can get on a scale to weigh how much salt is in their bodies, or flip the door on each part of a human body illustration to receive explanations, and touch the monitor for explanations. Throughout the exhibition set, children should realize that they need salt to sustain life.
We hope all of the children and parents who participate this exhibition will enjoy and learn something new about that.

All information is given in Japanese only.
